More than a Stone, More than a Book...A message for the World.
Is this a final message to Michael Jackson's family, his friends and his fans?
An incredible event almost went unnoticed in the pages of entertainment history. It was 1984: Michael Jackson had placed his Footprints, Hand Print and Autograph into wet cement for the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. When the city cancelled the Walk-of-Fame project, the Stone was forgotten in a basement for over two decades. It was later discovered that the palm of Michael’s Hand Print had the shape of a heart with a profound crack running through it. This caused the stone to quickly gain worldwide notoriety.
Ironically, after Michael’s death, it was reported that Michael’s daughter placed a broken heart bracelet on Michael’s wrist. Just how did this artifact of Michael Jackson, The Broken Heart Stone, a 300 lb piece of cement, go from the forgotten shadows of obscurity in a Vegas basement to Hollywood’s Eternal Mecca for celebrities, the famous forecourt of the Chinese Theater? It wasn't an easy task!
For the millions of fans who love and miss Michael, whether coincidence or otherwise, the Broken Heart Stone is a tasteful, powerful, and symbolic reminder of Michael’s life. Here is an amazing and historical journey of how something so precious was almost lost until a twist of fate changed everything for Michael’s fans. We now have a lasting tribute to the greatest entertainer of all time.
The surreal imprint of Michael's Hand Print reveals a Broken Heart...something that all of Michael Jackson fans can relate to.
The author, who won 1st Place at the USA World Karate Championships in Las Vegas the day Michael died, discovered the existence of the Broken Heart Stone. With a last moment decision, the Stone was intercepted from going to the Middle East.
